Thieves decamp with cash, gold

Thieves struck at a house in Upal Jagir village near here and decamped with Rs 22,000, $1200 and 20 grams of gold. House owner Amarjit Singh told the police that he was at a Dera when thieves barged into his house on Thursday night and stole cash and golden ornaments. The police reached the spot and initiated probe.

Man held for culpable homicide

The Shahkot police have arrested an individual on the charge of culpable homicide. Investigating Officer (IO) Buta Ram said the accused was identified as Jaswindar Singh, alias Hoshiarpuri, of Malsian village. Kajal, wife of Eklov, of Pati Laksian Malsian village, complained to the police that the accused administered some poisonous substances to her husband and killed him. The IO said a case was registered against the accused.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
